Videodisc Training Delivery System Project.

Abstract

The rapid development and proliferation of complex technology in all areas of the military has resulted in an increase in paper-based technical documentation that is fast becoming unmanageable. The recognition of this growing problem prompted the establishment of the Army Communicative Technology Office, with one of its missions to explore emerging technology and its application to the documentation delivery requirements of the modern army. The application of technology applied to documentation has a direct effect on training. This project was one of the first joint efforts to explore and use videodisc technology in the US Army training community. The purpose of the project was to prepare a series of seven lessons to be administered by consumer-model videodisc player. This report describes the videodisc courseware development and includes a summary of encountered problems, solutions thereto, and lessons learned. (Author)
